Thanks for the link, SealinkBF. But if I may quote the DAA statement:
Like other airports all over Europe, we are currently working extremely hard to build back our operation after the collapse of international travel, including the recruitment, training and mandatory background checks required for all staff working at an international airport,
This is what provoked my initial question. are other European airports having similar problems, or are the DAA being a bit economical with the truth? Irish journalists are too lazy to question what the DAA is saying.
